The rite of baptism is carried out by the vast majority of those who identify as Christians. However, there is a wide variety of differences in practice and understanding regarding this important rite. The Bible contains several instructions and examples as to how, and why, the act of baptism is central to Christian belief. The answers may surprise you.

Church buildings come in all shapes and sizes. Some are very small, humble structures, while others are massive, elaborate edifices which required years to build. Yet, even more varied than the size and architecture of their facades are the customs, ways of worship, and beliefs that they represent. Why? If all identify as Christian and supposedly have a common text, the Bible, as their foundational text. Which of these churches would the original apostles attend if they were alive today? Do these churches all represent the original doctrines of the Church? They cannot all be correct.

Within the world of the many faiths identifying as Christian, there is a heated debate over whether God's law, as written in the Bible, has been abolished, become void, and no longer holds relevance for Christians today. If this were true, then who or what determines what is right or wrong? Thankfully, this is not the case. You can demonstrate from the Bible that God's law is good, beneficial, and should be kept by every Christian today.
